What to sew in 2025?
A new year begins and it’s time to plan some sewing for the months ahead.
If you need ideas, here are a few trends that have made the catwalk and will be everywhere in 2025!
The polo shirt
In 2025, sportswear will be in vogue, with the return of jogging pants and supporter jerseys. Comfort will be a priority, with loose-fitting pieces.
Among the most popular garments are polo shirts, traditionally worn by tennis players, but which have become a timeless piece over the last few decades thanks to their contrasting collar and button placket.
To sew this piece, you’ll need a bit of experience to get through the more technical stages without worry.
For women, you can follow Maison Fauve’s lead with a classic three-button version.
And for men, the Patron Les BG model is available in sizes XS to XXXL!
On the fabric side, you can use pique knit, also known as “polo knit”, twill or fine jacquard.
Animal prints
For the past few months, leopard prints have been absolutely everywhere. And the trend isn’t going to stop there: animal prints will continue to be in vogue throughout 2025. So don’t hesitate to invest in cotton or viscose fabrics featuring leopard or tiger coats.
To showcase this strong print, opt for a simple, timeless piece like the Patronnes Matisse top. An easy-to-sew model that will be accessible to beginners.
A dress with balloon sleeves
In 2025, the watchword will be volume. Wispy shapes will be all the rage. Follow this trend by sewing a wide dress with balloon sleeves, like this Vogue pattern inspired by pieces from the 50s.
To make it, choose a shiny, wispy fabric like satin crepe. A beautiful piece to have in your closet for a special occasion.
If you’re looking for a dress you can wear every day, you can sew the Comme une fleur dress, choosing the version with “double balloon” sleeves. You’ll get the original effect of volume while having a more accessible piece that’s easy to match.
Slightly transparent fabrics
Last year, fashion was already playing with transparency. This year, we’re continuing in the same vein by sewing semi-transparent fabrics. For example, a light, supple cotton voile. Or a fine muslin that can be worn with a camisole.
The idea is to use these light fabrics to sew vaporous blouses. The Glynis top from Comme une fleur, for example, is a perfect example of transparency, with gathers on the cuffs and waist.
Flared pants
It’s been a while since slim-fitting pants were replaced by looser, oversized cuts. As a result, in 2025, flare pants, another name for the famous bell-bottom pants, will be in fashion. Priority is given to comfort.
Fabric-wise, you can sew this timeless piece with dark denim or colorful corduroy to emphasize the nod to the ’70s.
You can follow the Bertina Paris pattern to sew this piece in a high-waisted version. This pattern includes many technical details, such as a fly and welt pockets. Not for beginners!
The suit jacket
This year, men’s suits will be very much in vogue alongside women’s wardrobes. Elegant, well-cut pants will be on offer, and the epaulette jacket will be more in vogue than ever.
If you’d like to try your hand at this highly complex piece, you can follow Maison Fauve’s Manhattan blazer pattern, which teaches you how to fit epaulettes and a sleeve-head cigarette. A challenge for 2025!
To sew a beautiful suit jacket, it’s best to choose a good-quality fabric such as a wool, tweed or fine velvet with a matching lining fabric.
And what do you plan to sew in 2025? Do you have any projects or prints to look forward to?
